Toronto - A new contract has been signed by the City of Toronto and the State of Michigan regarding the controversial shipment of Toronto's excess garbage south of the border to be buried in fields formerly used as agricultural land.
Toronto's mayor, Fred Wilson, commented that a contract agreement was reached after hours of negotiations between officials from Michigan and Toronto's city council. He he was very pleased that they were able to settle the main points of contention, which were the amount of garbage Michigan would accept per year, how many years the contract would last for, and how much Toronto would need to pay to the state.
There have been protests both in the US and in Canada regarding the new plan. Some Torontonians feel that the city should be focusing on reducing the amount of garbage being produced here in the hope that shipment of garbage elsewhere would be unnecessary, while environmental groups in Michigan are strongly opposed to bringing garbage from areas onto state land.

 

From: Mr. Donnie Bae

To: Ms. Angela Montague
Transportation Coordinator
On behalf of our employees, most of whom take the Queenstown bus to the Speedo plant every day, we are concerned that our employees are arriving late for work.
Our staff uniforms need to be kept at work, but by the time staff put on their uniforms they arrive at their shift stations 10 to 15 minutes later than the start of their shift.
We wonder if it would be possible to have the morning bus depart 15 minutes earlier. We are looking forward to hearing from you on this matter.
